This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 913 - 2 The Unbreakable 10-Flower Divine Gate

"After you left, I happened to be back in the Central Heavenly Realm crossing a Sixth Tribulations Heavenly Tribulation. Upon receiving your message, I learned you returned from the Abyss. I happened to have some free time, so I came over to take a look."

Xia Daoyun spoke in a nonchalant tone, but the information revealed was considerable.

Having crossed the Sixth Tribulations Heavenly Tribulation, it means she is now a Sixth Tribulations cultivator.

This was Lu Qingshan’s first time truly understanding Xia Daoyun’s cultivation realm.

As for the so-called ’having some free time’ and ’coming over to take a look’...

Every time a cultivator breaches a new realm, they need a period to stabilize their cultivation, sometimes lasting dozens of years or at least several months.

Tribulation Crossing Realm is even more so.

For other realms, if you fail to breakthrough, you can always regroup for the next attempt.

But for the Tribulation Crossing Realm, failure is not an option.

Under the Heavenly Tribulation, success means leaping like a carp through the Dragon Gate, with greatly enhanced cultivation. Failure, however, means certain death.

Thus, for cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, each breakthrough is a life-or-death challenge.

Even if successful, post-breakthrough requires a good period of recuperation.

Yet he had ventured to the Abyss less than a month ago.

This means Xia Daoyun had crossed the Sixth Tribulations Heavenly Tribulation less than a month prior.

She should be busy stabilizing her realm now, not suitable for wandering around, let alone being free?

The notion of ’by the way’ is even more implausible. Sha State is at the border of the Central Heavenly Realm, making the idea of ’passing by’ essentially impossible.

Lu Qingshan knew these two points well. He was aware of Xia Daoyun’s usual indifferent nature. Even when concerned about him, she would never voice it.

Yet Lu Qingshan only pursed his lips, tacitly understanding without exposing this.

At this time, Xia Daoyun turned to glance at Chuyi and Shiwu, who had clearly been awed by her aura, appearing timid and hesitant to meet her gaze.

"When did this happen? Why have I never heard you mention it?" She asked indifferently.

"They’re not my daughters," Lu Qingshan explained, "I brought them back from the Abyss."

Although Xia Daoyun spoke concisely.

Lu Qingshan, who often found women’s minds hard to fathom, surprisingly understood Xia Daoyun’s thoughts quite thoroughly.

As if they shared a mutual understanding.

So in an instant, Lu Qingshan automatically filled out her complete meaning in his mind.

Hearing this, Xia Daoyun raised an eyebrow, finally recalling the main topic, "You mentioned in your spirit message that you discovered Human Race in the Abyss?"

Lu Qingshan nodded, speaking gravely, "Indeed, according to the Demon Race’s words, the Human Race in the Abyss comes from the Heart Demon tribe and the Giant Spirit tribe.

From this it can be deduced, these Human Race are most likely abducted from the Central Heavenly Realm and Central Spirit Domain."

Xia Daoyun’s classically beautiful face instantly hardened, her brows showing more heroism, she said coldly, "Despicable."

"This matter is too widespread. In my view, it involves the Taoist Sect and the Great Xia Imperial Clan, so currently I’ve only informed one person, my master." Lu Qingshan added.

Xia Daoyun is the only person he can fully trust.

"Smart." Xia Daoyun nodded.

"After you left, I seriously investigated the Rinsing Spirit Sect, but due to the short time and the inability to conduct a large-scale investigation, the outcomes were not substantial," she explained.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

If it were truly so easy to find clues, the Rinsing Spirit Sect’s internal traitors would not have been so comfortable for such a long time.

"However, now that you have returned from the Abyss, I will soon inform the old Sect Master about the Rinsing Spirit Sect matters, so the old Sect Master can act and thoroughly investigate the Rinsing Spirit Sect." Xia Daoyun’s voice chilled.

Regarding the Human Race traitors, her intent to kill was unmistakable.

"However, handling matters on this side of the Central Heavenly Realm will not be easy," Lu Qingshan remarked with difficulty.

The situation here is too complicated.

"What’s your view?" Xia Daoyun asked.

"In my heart, I still wish to trust the Heavenly Secret Pavillion, after all, if it had traitors, my journey into the Abyss wouldn’t have succeeded." Lu Qingshan contemplated for a moment, then spoke slowly.

His venture into the Abyss had much assistance from the Shui Yue Pavilion Master, and considering the Spiritual Cultivators’ abilities of the Heavenly Secret Pavillion, the notion of internal traitors is difficult to fathom.

At least among the higher-ups, this is the case.

Given the Heavenly Secret Pavillion’s ability to discern secrets, it should at least manage to maintain integrity within the sect.

"So, you suspect the Great Xia Imperial Clan?" Xia Daoyun understood Lu Qingshan’s implied meaning.

"Yes," Lu Qingshan nodded, unrestrained, speaking straightforwardly, "Within the Central Heavenly Domain, those with the capability to deceive all others apart from the Heavenly Secret Pavillion are only the Great Xia Imperial Clan."

"Furthermore, the Great Xia Imperial Clan has many factions with conflicting interests, so it’s not a monolithic entity, which provides breeding grounds for traitors."

The more factions there are, the more complex the situation becomes, with all sorts of people.

Xia Daoyun remained silent for a long time, eventually speaking slowly, "You’re quite right, but my identity is special, many eyes in Great Xia are constantly watching me.

If I were to personally investigate this matter, it’s likely that we would alert the enemy lurking in the shadows, so I will report this to the old Sect Master, letting the old Sect Master decide. I’ll focus my efforts on the Rinsing Spirit Sect for now."

In terms of identity, Xia Daoyun should be the most noble entity within Great Xia.

After all, the blood coursing through her veins is that of the Ancestral Taoist.

Lu Qingshan said seriously, "Regarding the Central Heavenly Realm, I will also participate in the investigation, but I’ll proceed using my own methods."

As he spoke, he patted Chuyi and Shiwu’s little heads, "The breakthrough point lies in their former sect, Qingfeng Sect."
